Pretty impressive considering we had just over half that (31) in '09, '10, and '11 and the last time we even reach 40 was 2006.

 

Side note, did anybody know we only allowed 20 sacks in '08?

 

Well we had Wharton and Gross in their prime.  I believe Keydrick Vincent was our other guard, and he had stepped up nicely.  Otah was an animal his rookie year and Kalil was shaping up nicely.

 

Our ground was one of the most devastating the NFL had seen - takes alot of pressure off the passing game.

Thats coach of the year material right there.

MCD deserves a lot of praise as the best D coordinator in Panthers history...do not be afraid of this reality.

Rivera tucks MCD into bed every night. My dumb ass could be coordinator and we would still be this good. Everywhere Rivera has been they have had a really, really good defense. You sure MCD is the reason? I'm willing to bet MCD is the place holder in the equasion.

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
